Book The Quest for Origins

    Book Details:
  • Author : K. R. Howe
  • Publisher : University of Hawaii Press
  • Release : 2003-05-31
  • ISBN : 9780824827502
  • Pages : 244 pages

Download or read book The Quest for Origins written by K. R. Howe and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2003-05-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did they come from space, from Egypt, from the Americas? From other ancient civilizations? These are some of today's most fanciful claims about the first settlers of the islands of the Pacific. But none of them correctly answer the question: Where did the Polynesians come from? This book is a thoughtful and devastating critique of such "new" learning, and a careful and accessible survey of modern archaeological, anthropological, genetic, and linguistics findings about the origins of Pacific Islanders. Professor Howe also examines the two-hundred-year-old history of Western ideas about Polynesian origins in the context of ever-changing fads and intellectual fashions.

Book Ko te Whenua te Utu   Land Is the Price

Download or read book Ko te Whenua te Utu Land Is the Price written by M. P. K. Sorrenson and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than half a century, Keith Sorrenson—one of New Zealand's leading historians and himself of mixed Maori and Pakeha descent—has dived deeper than anyone into the story of two peoples in New Zealand. In this new book, Sorrenson brings together his major writing from the last 56 years into a powerful whole—covering topics from the origins of Maori (and Pakeha ideas about those origins), through land purchases and the King Movement of the 19th century, and on to 20th-century politics and the new history of the Waitangi Tribunal. Throughout his career, Sorrenson has been concerned with the international context for New Zealand history while also attempting to understand and explain Maori conceptions and Pakeha ideas from the inside. And he has been determined to tell the real story of Maori losses of land and their political responses as, in the face of Pakeha colonization, they became a minority in their own country. Ko te Whenua te Utu / Land Is the Price is a powerful history of Maori and Pakeha in New Zealand.

Book Collecting  Ordering  Governing

Download or read book Collecting Ordering Governing written by Tony Bennett and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coauthors of this theoretically innovative work explore the relationships among anthropological fieldwork, museum collecting and display, and social governance in the early twentieth century in Australia, Britain, France, New Zealand, and the United States. With case studies ranging from the Musée de l'Homme's 1930s fieldwork missions in French Indo-China to the influence of Franz Boas's culture concept on the development of American museums, the authors illuminate recent debates about postwar forms of multicultural governance, cultural conceptions of difference, and postcolonial policy and practice in museums. Collecting, Ordering, Governing is essential reading for scholars and students of anthropology, museum studies, cultural studies, and indigenous studies as well as museum and heritage professionals.

  • Publisher : Bridget Williams Books
  • Release : 2023-11-01
  • ISBN : 1991033613
  • Pages : 367 pages

Download or read book An Indigenous Ocean written by Damon Salesa and published by Bridget Williams Books. This book was released on 2023-11-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific’s ‘Indigenous times’ are not just smaller sections of larger histories, but dimensions of their own. Histories of our Pacific world are richly rendered in these essays by Damon Salesa. From the first Indigenous civilisations that flourished in Oceania to the colonial encounters of the nineteenth century, and on to the complex contemporary relationships between New Zealand and the Pacific, Salesa offers new perspectives on this vast ocean – its people, its cultures, its pasts and its future. Spanning a wide range of topics, from race and migration to Pacific studies and empire, these essays demonstrate Salesa’s remarkable scholarship. Bridging the gap between academic disciplines and cultural traditions, Salesa locates Pacific peoples always at the centre of their stories. An Indigenous Ocean is a pivotal contribution to understanding the history and culture of Oceania.
